The chickadee (specifically the black-capped chickadee Poecile atricapillus, formerly Parus atricapillus) is the official bird for the US state of Massachusetts, [5] the Canadian province of New Brunswick, [6] and the city of Calgary, Alberta. [7] The chickadee is also the state bird of Maine, but a species has never been specified. A proposed ...
Until the late 1900s, the black-capped chickadee was considered by some to be conspecific with the willow tit of Eurasia and the Carolina chickadee, due to their very similar appearance. [ 11 ] : 8–9 A 1989 study demonstrated that the Willow tit and black-capped chickadee were different species; [ 12 ] however, the distinction of the Carolina ...
The calls and song between the Carolina chickadee and the black-capped chickadee differ subtly to an experienced ear: the Carolina chickadee's chick-a-dee call is faster and higher pitched than that of the black-capped chickadee, and the Carolina chickadee has a four note fee-bee-fee-bay song, whereas the black-capped omits the high notes.

Chickadees don't sweat the small stuff. Here's what we could all learn from their instinctive approach to life.
Hall says that if we look at the color blue — considered to be one of the main colors associated with healing — and connect it with the overarching meaning of repeatedly seeing a bird, a blue ...
The Mountain Chickadee is one of 55 species of Chickadees and Tits. [5] The mountain chickadee can be distinguished from other North American chickadees because mountain chickadees are marked with a white line through the side of their black cap, whereas all other North American chickadees have a solid black-cap.
Other calls are used for signalling alarm—a well-known example being the "chic-a-dee-dee" of North American species in the genus Poecile, the call which gives them their local common name, the chickadee. The call also serves as a rallying call to summon others to mob and harass the predator.
The Mexican chickadee (Poecile sclateri) is a small songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is still often placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships (Gill et al. , 2005).
